Write down two things you have learned about pill bugs so far. 3. Write a hypothesis for the following questions: a. How does waking up early affect your day? b. What effect does eating carrots have on your health? Planner: Ch. 1 Vocab WS ToC due! See Ms. Fleming for stamps Table of Contents #1 24. Do-Now 9/8 25.Chapter 1 Vocab Review WS Standard NGSS Science practices: 1. Asking questions and defining problems 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information FLT I will be able to practice the steps of scientific inquiry by completing Pill Bug Lab Pill Bug Lab 1 st : Take out your lab packets Come up with a hypothesis Bad: If pill bugs like dirt, then they will choose the dirt environment Good If pill bugs are allowed to choose between four different habitats for fifteen minutes, then Pill Bug Lab 2 nd : Set up your habitats Make sure there are no materials in the middle section I MUST check your habitats and hypotheses before you can begin the lab 1%

2 Biology Day 10 Tuesday, September 9 Thursday, September 10, 2014 Do-Now: BrainPoP: Biomolecules 1. Write today s FLT Then answer: 2. What types of food contain a. Proteins b. Carbohydrates c. Sugars d. Fats 3. Which of the above foods are necessary for us to live, and why do you think so? Planner: Go to weebly and read Test 9/16-9/17 Table of Contents #2 1. Do-Now: BrainPoP: Biomolecules Jigsaw Summary Standard HS-LS-1-6 Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules. FLT I will be able to identify the four types of biomolecules by completing 2.3 Jigsaw BrainPoP! Body Chemistry Noise Level 0 Listen to answer questions after matterandchemistry/bodychemistry/ Jigsaw On a NEW piece of paper write JIGSAW 2.3 We will do a Jigsaw of 2.3. I will start the Jigsaw, and then we will divide up the section in our groups. 2%

3 Jigsaw 2.3 I will hand out a reading packet We will read the first section of 2.3 together Write the first heading: Carbon atoms have unique bonding properties Summarizing Now, under my heading, I will summarize the main ideas. Write down my summary as a paragraph (do not write as bullet points): Carbon makes up molecules of life. Carbon forms up to 4 bonds because it has 4 e - s in its outer energy level. Carbon molecules can be long chains or rings. The long chains are called polymers. Polymers are made up of monomers. Add Questions & Answers Now, under my summary, I will write two questions WITH answers to quiz my group mates on. Q: What element makes up the molecules of life? A: Carbon Q: What do I call long chains of carbon molecules? A: Polymers Jigsaw: Groups Separate into groups of 4 You each will read a different section You will read at noise level 0 for 10 minutes After you read, you will (on your own paper) SUMMARIZE what you read You will also write TWO questions AND answers After 15 minutes, you will share your summary with your group mates Jigsaw: Groups In your groups, choose who will do which section: Carbohydrates (p. 45) Lipids (p. 46) Proteins (p. 47) Nucleic Acids (p. 48) Write the name of your section on your page Jigsaw: Groups You will read your section only at noise level 0 for 10 minutes After you read, you will (on your own paper) SUMMARIZE what you read You will also write TWO questions AND answers After 15 minutes, you will share your summary with your group mates Make sure to quiz your group with your questions 3%

4 Biology Day 11 Thursday, September 10 Friday, September 11, 2014 Do-Now: Biomolecule Video Notes 1. Write today s FLT Use your 2.3 Summaries to answer: 2. What element makes up the molecules of life? 3. List the four types of biomolecules we read about in the last class. 4. Which biomolecule is made up of sugar molecules? Planner: Complete assignments #1-5 Table of Contents #2 3. Do-Now: Biomolecule Video Notes Power Notes/Reinforcement Study Guide Standard HS-LS-1-6 Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules. FLT I will be able to describe the bonding properties of carbon and identify the four types of biomolecules by completing 2.3 Power Notes Video Notes Write down the following questions under your do-now (leave space to answer): 1. What are carbohydrates made of? 2. Where is starch found? 3. What are lipids unable to do? 4. What molecules make up cell membrane walls? 5. Three additional facts: Notes Procedure 1. Noise level 0 when given instruction 2. Copy down bolded ideas 3. Raise your hand to question/ comment 4. Be prepared to answer questions 5. Complete pair-shares out loud when directed to do so 4%

5 2.3: Carbon-Based Molecules Key idea: Carbon-based molecules are the foundation of life Elements In chemistry you will learn (or have learned) about the elements These include things like Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Calcium (Ca), etc. Elements Atoms of each element have unique properties These atoms can bond together to make up molecules So atoms! molecules! Elements of Life Molecules make up living and nonliving things! The elements that make most of our molecules of life are CHNOPS! Carbon Carbon (C) atoms have unique bonding properties Carbon forms up to 4 covalent bonds with other atoms 5%

6 Monomers & Polymers Many carbon-based molecules are made of many small subunits bonded together Monomers = small subunits that link together Polymers = large molecule made of many monomers bonded together Types of Biomolecules There are four categories of carbon-based polymers: 1. Carbohydrates (Polysaccharides) 3. Proteins (Polypeptides) 4. Nucleic Acids For each biomolecule We need to know: The monomer & polymer (if any) What they are What they do An example Carbohydrates 1. Carbohydrates (Polysaccharides) Monomer = monosaccharides (ex. glucose) Made of C, H, and O Sugars 1. Carbohydrate Functions Used for energy & for structure Glucose for energy Cellulose makes plant cell walls 6%

7 Example Cellulose Monomer: Glucose 1. Carbohydrate =Fats and oils Nonpolar + hydrophobic molecules (they HATE water) Polymer (starch) Starch is a polymer of glucose monomers that often has a branched structure. Polymer (cellulose) monomer Cellulose is a polymer of glucose monomers that has a straight, rigid structure Functions: Energy! Hormones! Phospholipids make up cell membranes Types of fats Fats can be saturated or unsaturated depending on how carbon bonds with the other atoms Functions: Broken down for energy Phospholipids make up cell membranes Used to make hormones 7%

8 Functions: Broken down for energy Phospholipids make up cell membranes Used to make hormones Picture This is a phospholipid Polar head (likes water) Hydrophobic tail (hates water) Pair-Share-Respond Answer the following questions with a table partner. 1. What are the four types of biomolecules? 2. What are the subunits of polymers called? 3. Monosaccharides make up what type of polymer? 4. What does it mean for something to be hydrophobic? 5. What does it mean for something to be polar? 3. Proteins Monomer = amino acids; Polymer = polypeptide Peptide bonds connect Amino Acids Proteins Remember: monomers bond together to form polymers Amino acids are linked by peptide bonds to form proteins (polypeptides) Picture 8%

9 4. Nucleic Acids Monomer = nucleotides Nucleotides have a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base Nucleic Acids Only two types: DNA and RNA Pair-Share-Respond Answer the following questions with a table partner. 1. What are nucleic acids made up of? 2. What are proteins made up of? 3. What do we call the bonds that connect units of proteins together? 4. What are the functions of proteins? 5. What are the two types of nucleic acids? 9%
